*You are absolutely right!*
If THAT is low-level, what is this:
Celeron 433MHz
256 MB RAM
GeForce2 MX400 32 MB

Is this already junk then? I can play UT2003 with decent speed.
Probably M$ adds this all eye-candy stuff to get people's attention. 
Through the time of history, it was *ALWAYS* easier to get peoples 
attention with *visual* beauty, rather than rational thinking...

Of course, this "bending" and other nonsense will cover all the security 
bugs, and will drive off the attention from the backdoors in Longhorn, 
what M$ leaves behind for himself. (Nimda not used an accidental bug - 
they just found the backdoor what M$ left behind for itself...)

I'm still using Win98, but mostly for playing. I think I will NEVER 
upgrade any higher. If Win98 will no longer be supported by anything, 
then I will move to Linux and KDE. I don't like my personal computer 
being watched - specially not by Microsoft...
